Well here are the front inner fenders.Just got done with them and they came out pretty good.Still got a little bit left over (guess i shouldve put more on but it`ll be good). So now i need to buy a complete front end bolt kit and then maybe by the following weekend i can bolt these on.. Making progress but taking the time though.

thanks
pat

Better to take your time than do it four quick times...

Thanks lucky73,
it is a labor of love, i figure ill need around 5k to finish it..Once its done then the relaxation of just enjoying it will be at hand..Its taken almost 4 years to get it to what you see it now.I`m doing all the work myself so its a slow process..
thanks
